			<h1>Concern</h1>
			<p>Day 01009: <time>Sunday, 2017 December 10</time></p>

<section id="general">
	<h2>General news</h2>
	<p>
		I think I&apos;m ready for the next tooth extraction.
		Mentally, anyway.
		My body could still use more time to recover.
	</p>
	<p>
		I was running behind as I headed off to work today, so I didn&apos;t have time to grab my jacket.
		As I left work tonight, my toxic shift leader thought they&apos;d lend me one.
		Ha!
		They don&apos;t care if they cause me and the rest of the on-duty workers brain damage by locking the noxious oven gasses in the building with us but they care about a little cold!?
		Yeah ...
		No.
		I will continue to treat them in a civil and friendly manner, but we certainly aren&apos;t friends.
		Friends don&apos;t poison friends, especially when the friends they&apos;re poisoning have expressed concern about it.
		I refused to borrow the jacket.
	</p>
	<p>
		At first, I thought this apparent concern ... incongruent with what they&apos;d showed me recently.
		It was clearly a show.
		They could look nice by lending me a jacket, but as they admitted, it wasn&apos;t one they use, so they weren&apos;t giving anything up.
		They don&apos;t actually care.
		As I typed up that last paragraph though, it hit me: this is <strong>*completely*</strong> congruent with what they displayed the other day.
		They smoke; clearly, they don&apos;t care as much as some do about breathing toxins.
		They were locking the noxious fumes in the building with us likely to lock the heat in as well.
		Their regard for the rest of us is clearly shallow; although at least two of us were expressing immediate health effects and a third was expressing concern, they didn&apos;t care.
		However, they see the cold as an actual threat.
		They were projecting their threat model on the rest of us and forcing us all to be exposed to what could cause permanent health issues, but their concern tonight was likely genuine.
		I don&apos;t think they were highly concerned or anything, but they weren&apos;t faking it.
		I&apos;m sticking to my &quot;friends don&apos;t poison friends&quot; position though.
		Until a time in which they understand the problem and I think they actually have changed, we&apos;re workmates and nothing more.
